Floor the throttle. Use the whole RPM range. Drive it downhill. Don't use the brakes.
Honestly, it seems like you asked the question without reading anything on this (or any other) web forum.
How fast = how much money you've got to spend. Now start reading.

Speed=Cash......ep3's are not motors that you build. with the compression of the a3, it is a motor for boost. and boost also=Cash....so save, and boost

EP2 is the 5-door model, not available in the US.
Whether that was a typo or not, the EP2 still exists.

If you're going to get a Type S head you might as well get the longblock and tranny too. A2 head on A3 bottom end just doesn't net enough results for me to see it being worthwhile.

How much more power? Maybe not enough to make all the work worthwhile. Hopefully more than the 158 whp I've got now on an A3 with i/h/e, so probably around 170.
At least one of the guys on ephatch did the head swap and wasn't that impressed. This was a few years ago, so you'd have to do some searching to find his posts among all the "What if I...?" threads.

Mugen airbox, Fujitsubo RM-01A catback, and stock type-s header & catalytic convertor. No Hondata, either (at least not yet). Peaked at 158 whp & 131 ft-lbs; I'll do another run on another dyno in late March, too.
Install & info on the exhaust:
